Sally Lindsay: Fighting for working-class women in telly

Actor and writer Sally Lindsay has always loved the spotlight.
She made her TV debut aged 7 when her school choir performed
their No.1 single There’s No One Quite Like Grandma on Top of the
Pops. But it wasn’t until university that she realised she could
make a career out of performing.


Sally's gone on to star in hit TV shows such as Phoenix Nights,
Coronation Street, Mount Pleasant and her latest project, The
Madame Blanc Mysteries, which she also writes and produces.


She tells James how she landed her first TV role in The Royale
Family, the struggles that working-class actors face and what
she’s doing to tackle inequality in the industry.
